Chair massages are a quick, easy way to relax and get some relief from tension, stress and pain. A study in American Psychologists showed that people who received a short chair massage on their break, rather than resting, performed significantly better on complicated tasks like math problems. For the study one group of workers had a 15-minute rest, and the other group had a 15-minute massage. As if you needed a reason other than “it feels so darn good”…here are 6 more reasons to get addicted to chair massage:
-
They provide a quick “pick me up” that has an energizing and uplifting effect –
Do you find yourself dragging halfway through the day? A quick chair massage gives you that “pick up” to keep you from experiencing that “mid-day crash”. A massage can improve creative thinking and relieve fatigue. -
They are convenient –
Chair massages are done fully clothed, no oils are used. You don’t have to worry about going back to work with messy, oiled down hair. -
They work the areas where most people hold tension…the neck, shoulders and back –
Massage chairs were designed in way to seat you so that the back, neck and shoulders can be worked on while you relax. -
They take only 10-15 minutes –
Chair massages don’t take long, they can easily be done on your lunch break and leave you time to grab a bite to eat, too. -
They relax you and relieve stress –
Just picture it, you are comfortably seated in the massage chair, the lights are dim, soft music is playing, the gentle but firm touch of a therapist applying pressure and working out the tight spots in your aching muscles… just the thought is relaxing, no? -
They can relieve a headache caused by stress and muscle tension –
Even a quick chair massage can loosen and relax tight muscles that are causing pain, limited flexibility and range of motion and causing you headaches or migraines.
Make chair massage a part of your weekly routine.
